Easter falls on my nephew's birthday this year. To celebrate we had a party at my cousin's house, whose birthday was last week, so we combined the two yesterday.

On the drive down we passed a man on the side of the road covered in blood. He was wearing a diaper looking thing and was bearing a cross on his back. Part of me wanted to stop and take a picture, and part of me was glad we were moving fairly quickly. I didn't want the kids to see. The girls missed it, but Robotson asked me what that man was doing. I said he was pretending to be Jesus. Robotson knows the story of the crucifixion. I'm not sure if he knows the story of the resurrection though now that I think about it. Anyway, he understood what my answer meant. Then he asked me why. Before I could answer him, he suggested that perhaps the man was drunk. I laughed. I told him it had to do with Easter, but he didn't probe further.

At the party yesterday, after presents and cake (one was made of donuts!), we had the kids color eggs and then the Easter bunny visited. I think the bunny part was actually implied because I know I didn't mention it. It was a very low-key affair, but the kids had a great time. We'll probably get a few more treats from other family members throughout the week, but that's it.

It was a great time having everyone over. I have to admit that grandma hit the nail on the head with this party. We should do this more often. Can't wait till June when we get to do it all over again in Ohio. :)
